sometimes your grammar is incorrect and unfathomable in its context.
Smokescreen - meaning he is shouting how clean he is - which he also did in the Eurosport Lemond interview. 'You,re my hero Greg' interview...'we should all be more transparent'.
Ten Dam is always up there with the best of them....doesnt wash in my opinion.
i'm not sure about ten dam's statements in that interview.
pretty useless either way and skeptic is right, even if he's clean he has no reasons to publicly spit in the soup and jeopardize his position in the peloton. (it would be different perhaps if dopers constituted a minority, which, however, they most like do not)
but i certainly agree with the bolded part.
there isn't much to assume ten dam is clean.
imo he doesn't have the ideal physique for being a good climber, yet he now climbs with the top 10 climbers.
and his third week was better this year than it was last year, so it looks like he's still 'learning' and can still 'improve'.
